strike and lockout at the very best Of tAO
season, and the employees seemed 10 feel thai
they have the best of the situation, although
the bosses appear perfectly satisfied Before
the strike the price paid brickiAyers was -
cents per hour, but owing to the time which
has been lost and the building which win
have to be done this season, bricklayerS win
be in great demand and wages VIII be con-
siderably higher. A leading member OF the
Bricklayers' union said that all good brick
layers would receive 90 cents per hour, and
by this advance in wages they would b en-
abled to make up what they had lost BY the
lockout
At its annual meeting In January Il was
decided that the Master Masons and Build

mittee, which shall confer with the arbitra-
ton committee Of the Bricklayers' union and
settle all troublesome questions that may
arise at any time. The working rules adopt

WASHINGTON. Feb. l4.-The sv,,
committee of the house committc on
foreign affairs, consisting of Messrs.
Belmont, Clements and Rice, to-day pre-
sented its report on the retaliatory bill.

A Flooded Town Frozen Solid.
LYONS, Mich, Feb. l4.-The ice
gorge is frozen solid to a depth of from
FIVE to ten feet; the river is still flowing
through the main street and merchants
are building trestle works to their stores,
only to find their goods frozen in the ice.
The cold weather has settled the water
nearly a foot, but made work almost i'm
possible.
The whole OF the country from Lyons
to Muir presents an Arctic panorama of
desolation. Many merchants have been
unable to visit their stores since Thursday
morning, and several who attempted it
were swept down by the current and mar
rowly escaped death. All merchants lose
heavily, all manufacturing establishments
are crippled and many buildings ruined.
The ice gorge shows no signs of breaking,
extending as a solid glacier five miles
long and fifteen or eighteen feet thick.
The loss OF property is enormous and
will doubtless reach $3.50, 900. The Holly
water works building stands in the midst

At the Tlinkat Training academy, at
Fort Wrangel, Alaska, Fannie F.. Young
is publishing a monthly paper called The
Glacier. From its twelve short columns
the following interesting bit of talk Of
folk lore is taken. 1t is entitled THE
Girl in the Noon"
When I was a little girl, living in the
Hydah country. the old folks used to
brighten the little girls about the noon.
They used to tell us that a little girl went
after water at night. When she was
coming home she stuck her tongue out at
the moon and that made the moon mad.
1t came down and took her Up. She had
her bucket in one hand and caught Il
bunch of grass with the other to keep her
from going up; but the moo took her.
with bucket and grass.
The large figure in the moon is the
girl-grass in one hand, bucket in the
other. They said that was what you can
see in the MOON. | used to want to stick
my tongue out at the moon awfully. to
see if it would come down and take me
up, but | was afraid that it would come.
l used TO feel sorry for the little girl when
l looked at the moon.

CONGRESSIONAL.
Senate.

WASHINGTON. Feb. l4.-At two
O'clock the presiding officer laid before
the senate the unfinished business, being
the Eads-T ehauntepec bill. Cameron
moved to postpone that bill till to morrow,
so as to go on with the naval bill. The
motion was deteated-yeas "a, nays %.
Riddleberger observed, ''as a parting sa-
lutte to the naval bill" that the vote Just
taken was a record to show that the
American senate preferred to take up
Eads ship railroad bill to doing that
which American sentiment demands
towards the reconstruction of the navy.
The naval bill was laid aside and the SEN
ate her resumed the consideration of the
Eads- Tehauntepec bill. Mr.. Edmunds
obtained the floor to make a speech on
the bill, but yielded for other business.
Mr.. Riddleberger moved to go into ex-
ecutive session, and said that this was the
seventh time within a few weeks that he
had made that motion in this house OF
lords in order to take up some nomina-
tons that concerned his state; but be
always met the opposition of the senator
from Vermont (Mr. Edmunds). The
motion was agreed to and the senate
went into secret session and soon after ad.

Will Not Re-Emplov Strikers

New YORK, Feb. l4.-Positive orpers
to their dock agents from many of the
railroad companies, prohibited any strikers
being taken back under any circumstan-
ces. Agent Bode, of the Pennsylvania
road, says he has refused the application

reinstatement. Il will stand by those
who have stood by me- he said, mot one
of the present hands who does good work
will be discharged
Agent kepper, OF the Jersey Southern
road, also has positive orders to take back
no strikers. But little inconvenience, he
says, has been caused his company by the
strike.
At the New Jersey Central pier, Lee
high Valley railroad pier and the Anchor
line pier. many old hands are working
with italians, and freight is being moved
rapidly. Gangs Of strikers are going
about from pier to pier in search of work.

An Order from Powderly.

CHICAGO. Feb. IA statement is in
circulation here that district assemblies of
Knights Of Labor in Chicago have re-
ceived an order from General Master
Workman Powdeily within the past three
days. directing that no general boycotts
be attempted without the sanction of the
general executive board at Philadelphia.
Strenuous efforts were made to-day to OBJ
tain confirmation OF the rumor, but
knights approached on the subject either
denied the existence OF the alleged order
or were extremely r%eticent. 1t is stated,
however, on fair authority, that the re-
port had its origin in a letter from Pow
derby, calling attention to the
clause in the Knights constitu-
ton disclaiming in effect that dis
trict assemblies may inaugurate boycotts
within their respective Jurisdictions
but for any extension they must apply to
the general board. The letter from Pow
derby is said to have minated that any
further infractions of this law by the Chi
cage districts would not be tolerated. 1t
is an open secret here that since the so.

been almost ignored so far as this city is

with kerosene. The legs were burned off.
